Going to change fuel filter this weekend'
Haynes manual cals for the presure to be relieved by disconnecting the power to the pump,starveing the engine.
Pump is under seat,pain in the *ss to get to'
How about pulling the fuse instead?
Where is it located?
What size wrench on fuel lines?
Thanks for the help.

 

I changed mine in about 15 minutes. Cake walk. I just disconnected the battery and got to work.

 

Don't use a regular open-ended wrench, you'll destroy the fitting. You need flare nut wrenches. If you don't know what those are, look them up!

 

 

yes!

 

Wait... Are you changing the pump or filter?

 

ya you dont have to get to the fuel pump.... just pull the fuse and start up the motor it will run for asecond or two then die. then its time to work....

now be prepaired to muscle that sucker loose and TRY NOT TO STRIP IT!!!!!!! its a HUGE PITA to change cause that sucker sticks hardcore!!!!!! took me like 20mins to FINALY get that sucker outta place!
cause you dont wana just man handle it outta thier cause you dont want to bent any of the lines that are thier! so just be carefull!

 

Also loosen the gas cap so pressure doesn't build up in the tank while you're working on the lines.

F. Honda Civic Fuel Filter Replacement

The fuel filter should be replaced 1) every 4 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, or 2) whenever the fuel pressure drops below 40-47 psi, with the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and pinched, after making sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator are OK.

1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Place shop towel under and around fuel filter.
3. Relieve fuel pressure, by removing gas cap.
4. Remove 12 mm banjo bolt and 14 mm fuel feed pipe (use flare wrench) from fuel filter.
5. Remove fuel filter clamp and fuel filter.
6. Use new copper washers, when assembling.
7. Tighten banjo bolt to 16 lb-ft, service bolt (middle of banjo bolt) to 11 lb-ft, and fuel feed pipe to 28 lb-ft. Clean flared joint of high pressure hoses thoroughly before reconnecting.

CAUTION: Only change fuel filter when the engine is cold. Keep a Class B fire extinguisher ready. No smoking or open flames allowed (e.g., gas hot water heater, dryer, or furnace). Keep tools a safe distance from battery. Wear safety goggles.
